How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 62 = 54.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 54.56 ÷ 62 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/62, so part = 88 × 62 ÷ 100 = 54.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*62. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

What the result means

54.56 is the 88% share of 62. The remaining 12% is 7.44, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $62 saves $54.56, so you pay $7.44.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 62 by 88% gives 116.56 and decreasing it by 88% gives 7.44. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 13.9872, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
